Re: Closing out the season

I can only see 3 "likely" victories on the schedule......both games against the Knicks and the one game against the Heat. Those 3 games are pretty much guaranteed since it's one of those "our scrubs are better then their scrubs" type of games.

As for the rest....without knowing whether JONeal returns or not....I have no clue. All the teams here have a reason to win the game where one team can kill us with their perimeter shooting ( Bobcats or Bucks ) and then the next night some team with some decent Big Man can kill us inside ( TWolves or the Magic ). Honestly, I never know how good or bad our defense can be and therefore can't figure out which teams we can or cannot beat.

Re: Closing out the season

I'd say anywhere from 7-12 wins. The schedule gets a lot easier from here on out. It's possible, however, that playing at home is just going to get more depressing. It might be better if we had more road games.

I'm praying for 8 wins at least, as I bet the over at 31.5 wins for the season.

There are no easy games for the Pacers. Look at who has beaten us this season. Look at the early games where we got a big lead and allowed teams back in the game.

Unless a team wants to lay down and die, our chances of beating anyone on a given night are not high.

Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.

I'd say 6-13, adding Minnesota to the loss column. We do not match up well with them for some reason. I anticipate Arenas making it back and having his 1st really big game back against us. I don't think we'll lose to Jersey back-to-back. We will finish sub .500, treading water around the 7-9 pick.

Make the 8th seed and get the 13th pick. I said we would make the playoffs at the beginning of the season and I really think we can. I will not be shocked either way. More if we make the playoffs than if we don't.

If good Tinsley comes back this could happen. If he doesn't we have a lesser chance but it is still there.
